It seems to be a match of 140 minutes - four 'quarters' of 35 minutes each!

Might we get living proof that "we could play all night and still not score"? Still 0-0.

Former DVP player David Tutonda on for Rovers.

Aiden Flint scores on 88 mins - game played in 35 min periods

Ex Wurzel sticking it to the Gas

Rovers 0 - 1 City (still playing)

Cardiff City's Twitter have not mentioned the game at all.

Rovers have been live tweeting all game and promoted it earlier in the day

1 - 1 on 105 mins.

Seems there could be another 35 mins to come.

4 x 35 mins.

Robert Glatzel with a 125th minute winner.

Didn't know we were playing. Might have parted with a fiver for 140 minutes, rovers probably should have made more of that stream.

Anyone know what other matches we have coming up?

Rovers made quite a lot of it (in comparison to Cardiff who did not mention it at all until after the game).

Apparently Prem and Championship clubs have agreed not to publicize friendlies in case a crowd turns up.

Did Harris play himself in the 2nd match?

Did he do a Bobby Gould? I think it's more likely that Mark Harris played.
